Online videos have definitely lowered standards of television production. There are many websites including the popular ‘Youtube’ that host people’s amateur videos online. Illegal film websites are also circulating, providing the public with free but very poor quality versions of new films. Programmes such as ‘You’ve Been Framed’ and ‘RudeTube’ create whole shows using these amateur videos sent in by the public. Although this costs less than a full production it lowers the quality of the TV show.
The reason that these home videos are rarely good quality is that more and more devices such as mobile phones now include video recording capabilities, but these lack resolution excellence. If more programmes accept this cheap and poor quality footage, it may cause a decline in the standards of television production. However the up rise of High Definition and 3D television may counteract the small proportion of channels that succumb to this lower quality television.
